Stumpy Jig Contest

I was building a wishing well and needed to stabilize the circular base so I created this little jig to slide into the base of my plunge router and with a few set screws to hold the wooden dowels in place I can now make perfect circles. I had an old piece of Bubinga hanging around so I used that as the center spindle, then drilled a hole to fit a 20 Penny nail into the center. I worked surprisingly well and is now a permanent tool in my shop (Took me about 10 min to build and a ½ hour to glue using Titebond III.\

Peter – since you have the same router you’ll find that you have to drill out the holes a bit since they taper on the inside… maybe they all do this or maybe it’s a way for DeWalt to ensure you purchase their attachments; the drill and metal bit didn’t care much and opened the hole up nicely.

Ken – Thanks for the feedback and since I haven’t spoken to you in a while I hope you guys had a great time in Cancun.

Martin – Thanks for the comments and hope you’re doing well

Nomercadies – lol; yes that “workbench” consists of scrap mdf and plywood clamped to my trailer gate top… works nice since the sawdust or most of it falls into the trailer. Thanks for checking it out.
